Guest Post & Open Thread

[A guest post* from commenter Rhythm and Balls]:


Poet Chickie had a fact
but Poet Chickie lacked the tact
to use the knack and take the act
to put said knowledge to good effect.

Instead he writhed and roared in pain
that no one loved all of the gains
that benefited no one - save his dames
and their good masters at places like Bain

"Why can't," he cried, "the wretched love"
"The closed off kindness we see above?"

"The generosity sphincter has released enough!" "Now send us speedily peace-bearing dove!"

"For if we do not hate the poor,"
"And insufficiently abhor,"
"Industrious activity, exchange for all,"
"Then financial gods will appear too small!"

"For worshipping them is just the point,"
"And fractured economies we must anoint."
"Bar from commerce these wretched fleas!"
"For stinginess is virtue - and DESTINY!"
